Beyond Boxing

He announced it,it was poor, here's why.....

When will Hearn show Dillian Whyte the respect he deserves?

UK boxing will be back soon...just after the pubs open ironically. Frank has set the pace this time and is rewarded for investing in UK talent.

It leaves Eddie Hearn behind now, wrestling with a flat UK stable and an American one he cannot get to yet.

But, after 4 months away from boxing, will fans rush back to the arenas or will we start to view boxing from the comfort from our homes and the expensive TVs we have invested in?

Eddie Hearn will have a tough time with the Dillian Whyte situation. There are only two paths he can follow - one that favours Dillian or one that favours AJ. Which do we thing he will choose?

Also we pay tribute to Andrew Selby and wonder what he could have done with decent management.

In all the noise surrounding Fury-Joshua, we need a moment for Dillian Whyte. He has done everything asked of him, risked his career in 50/50 fights and faithfully stuck to the WBC script, but still he finds himself on the outside looking in.

Hearn has form for this having ruined Luis Ortiz and many others all in the interests of protecting his cash cows.

It must also suck to be a Matchroom USA fighter right now with no promotional support and Hearn grounded indefinitely.

Any trainer that doesn't believe he is the best and wake up with desire to beat everybody is short-changing their boxer. Too many are just happy being Instagram famous. It's time we got some fire back into our trainers.

This episode is a roundup of things that have been 'interesting' in boxing. The pickings are slim, but we made lemonade with the lemons we got.

One thing that should be said is that boxing will be killed by its own fans. i am not sure if a sport is supported by so many people filled with anger and hate. I can never understand how people can get so revved up by people they don't even know, even at the expense of the people they know, that love them.

We live in a strange world.

Well, we now know why Anthony Joshua has been quiet. Does this put the heavyweight division on pause?

Is this the first time that we see Anthony Joshua breaking down?

But, when he spoke his mind, twitter lost his mind.

Where did the hate come from?

It has been a pretty few days for humanity.

When a people are so marginalised that they are denied the right to claim victimhood you realise the goal is to maintain oppression.

Until you can accept somebody as a victim, you cannot accept the harm your actions do. The denial of victimhood is the worst, but the strangest form of oppression possible.

We need to take the steps forward that wash away the ingrained hang-ups that we have about most things. They aren't that important and detract from the beauty of life.

It inst about anything more than accepting your humanity is my humanity and vice versa. Until then, men like George Floyd will continue to die.

Also, Joshua got spanked a year ago and boxers may want to consider Onlyfans.com

The first time we united the numbers were so good that we had to do it gain.

This time we tackle a lot of what has been going on in boxing; DAZN looking like they may need some help, the lack of quality boxing content, the 'vanishing fans' and demanding respect for the ladies in our sport.

It's a great episode so please like, retweet, share, review...you know, all that good stuff.

Expect Fight Camp, or whatever it is to be a damp squib. We are used to Hearn over-promising and then disappointing us, but still staying true to his love of making excuses over events that weren't possible.

I want it to be good, but he has form for being generally terrible at these things, unless they fall in his lap.

Eddie Hearn is an exploiter, not a creator. he is the guy that does the remixes, but never writes the hits.

Mike Tyson might have pulled off the greatest trolling of boxing fans since Floyd Mayweather caused 'Karim Mayfield' to virtually break google.

Mike will not come back, Mike never needs to come back, and he knows it. He will make a few million from this rare moment of superstardom, which he knew and he made the most of it.

I wanted to do one, and only one, episode on drugs in sport. Boxing fans are owed a frank and honest view on the mechanics of doping in sport and boxing in particular. Having finished this one, I feel there is a part 2 in there...

We needed real insight and we got it in Larry Olubamiwo. Nobody knows it better than he does. This is as good as it gets.

This episode goes to places no other outlet has been brave enough to go. The right thing to do is for everyone to share this and tag the people you feel need to hear this. This is as close to the reality of doping in boxing as you will get.
